    The transition zone to the laurel forest, which can be found from about 300 meters above sea level, has more trees than the immediate coastal zone. Among other things, wax myrtle, the first representative of the Barbusanos (Apollonias barbujana) and the Canary Willow (Salix canariensis) can be found here.

      This tour really has a lot to offer - so unfortunately it is pretty crowded. Start early in the morning

        Madeira, Levedas, the smell, the Atlantic, the Poncha. It fits and feels good :-)
